I live with my semi retired uncle who loves having the company of a dog in the house and I also rent a room to students so the dogs staying with me will never be on their own too long.

Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I have a front garden & enclosed back garden. I also live close to walkways so they will have plenty of exercise. I run a calm and comfortable house. Dogs in my care can come to relax and chill out or play and run around with my little terrier. I give the dogs the run of the downstairs areas of my home so they will not be confined to small spaces or just one room.

Information Valerie N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is not toilet trained or tends to chew on things other than their toys. A heads up if they have any issues with people I know some dogs don't like men etc. Also if your dog does not play well with other other dogs please let me know. Unfortunately I cannot accept flat nosed dogs e.g Staffy's as my dog doesn't get on with them.

A typical day

Myself & my uncle will take great care of the dogs placed in our care. They will be safe, loved and well looked after. I live close to walkways and if the dogs are comfortable in the car they are more than welcome to come for spins and little adventures with my dog & myself. My dog lacks a bit of confidence and having other dogs around helps bring him out of his shell. He loves playing with new dogs but he is also learning that not every dog will want to play so he will give them space too.

I love my dog & promise to love yours too

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover and I'm not afraid to admit that my dog is my best friend. I enjoy the outdoors and with an energetic Jack Russell who loves his walks and spins in the car are a must. Dogs give us nothing but love so the least I can do is show them love & care when they stay in my home.

Boarded Cody my retriever with Valarie recently. She was very accommodating with drop off and collection and Cody came back really happy! He must clearly have enjoyed his time there 🙂. I'd highly recommend her.

Valerie looked after my fur babies so well last night — it truly felt like a home away from home. They were happy, and completely content while staying with her. I couldn’t have asked for better care, and would certainly recommend Valerie 🐶🐶 Sarah, Sunny & Millie

Great service from Valerie, Luna is a bit of a nervous dog but she had a great time there overnight and came back in great form.

Valerie recently minded our dog for a long weekend. It was a very positive experience for us. Valerie was very helpful in advance of the booking and was very interested in understanding Poppy’s routine before we dropped her off. Poppy was very well looked after, she had great fun and was in very good form when we collected her.
